December 21, 2010 - Nj Voters Split On Gov's Approval, Style, Quinnipiac University Poll Finds; More Disapprove Of His Move To Change Court Word format New Jersey voters give Gov. Christie a split 46 - 44 percent job approval rating and also divide 47 - 48 percent on whether they approve of his governing style, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today. Gov. Christie's latest job approval rating compares to 51 - 38 percent in a November 9 survey by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University. Christie's approval is 74 - 21 percent among Republicans and 48 - 41 percent among independent voters, while Democrats disapprove 65 - 22 percent. The governor's attempt to change a "historically liberal State Supreme Court" is a bad idea, voters say 45 - 39 percent. Support for the governor is 71 - 19 percent among Republicans as independent voters split 43 - 41 percent. Democrats oppose the move 71 - 13 percent. Voter opinion of the State Senate's failure to act on a Christie Supreme Court nominee is: 37 percent say the State Senate is protecting an independent judiciary; 32 percent call it foot-dragging. "Overall, New Jersey Gov. Christopher Christie still gets a split decision. Democrats don't like him at all; Republicans like him a lot. His 'Jersey-guy' in-your-face governing style? An even split," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "The governor's big mid-year scrap against the State Supreme Court was revived when one of the seven judges called the court's current shape unconstitutional. Public opinion is running against Gov. Christie on this issue and his overall approval rating has eroded a bit since our last look." New Jersey voters give Christie a slightly negative 45 - 49 percent on his handling of education. But 63 percent say his attempt to limit salaries for school superintendents is a "good way to help balance the budget," while 31 percent call it "meddling in local government." By a similar 61 - 34 percent margin, voters support limiting wage increases to 2 percent for police and firefighters. Most politicians act based on what's popular rather than on principle, voters say 78 - 13 percent. But they say 64 - 29 percent, including 47 - 43 percent among Democrats, that Christie acts on principal, rather than what's popular. "Christie started the year fighting with the educational establishment and he ended it the same way - this time with school superintendents as the target. The public seems to be with him, saying 2-1 that he should cut superintendents' pay," Carroll said. New York City Subway Extension to Secaucus Voters agree 46 - 38 percent with Christie's decision to cancel a cross-Hudson rail tunnel, down from 53 - 37 percent in a November 10 Quinnipiac University poll. But voters say 64 - 17 percent that a New York City plan to extend the No. 7 subway line under the Hudson River to the NJ Transit station in Secaucus is a good idea. Support is 60 - 19 percent among Republicans, 67 - 17 percent among Democrats and 64 - 18 percent among independent voters. New Jersey should contribute financially to building the tunnel, voters say 63 - 27 percent. But voters oppose 49 - 40 percent spending $1 billion on the new rail tunnel idea. Democrats back the $1 billion cost 49 - 40 percent, while opposition is 54 - 35 percent among Republicans and 53 - 36 percent among independent voters. Among the 11 percent of New Jersey voters who commute to New York City, support is 59 - 30 percent. "Killing the first rail tunnel plan was okay and the alternative, an extension of a New York subway to Secaucus, is a pretty good idea, voters say. New Jersey voters even say they're willing to pay for the new tunnel idea - until we put a billion-dollar price tag on it," Carroll said. From December 14 - 19, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,276 New Jersey voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.7 percentage points. The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Florida, Ohio and nationally as a public service and for research.
